Collective Impact worked with one of its long-term partners (Indiana County Department of Human Services and Green County Human Services Find Out) to revamp and modernize their interactive websites which provides an interactive directory of resources for the communities. Both organizations have been long-standing clients of Collective Impact, utilizing many of our capacity building services and for over 15 years, have had use of Collective Impact’s user-friendly Venue Website services. Venue is an innovative content management system that helps organizations and communities operate more efficiently and effectively, strengthen operational infrastructure, and develop social capital. It is user-friendly with development driven by its users; giving users the ability to update their website content without technical knowledge or expertise.

"As a large center, we collectively set out to begin our strategic planning process knowing there would be many levels of detail to consider and the need for objective, thoughtful, and creative ideas and assessment processes. Immediately, Bruce Decker listened to our needs and considered what our center was “all about”. He took the time to invest in this effort so that he could respond to participants’ needs along the way. He provided detailed materials that efficiently and effectively helped us focus on what we needed to accomplish at the upcoming sessions. During the sessions, he creatively kept our attention while making all pieces of the session pertinent to our goal. In the end, people loved Bruce and what he was able to accomplish. Repeatedly, I heard that our sessions were not “typical strategic planning” sessions. Positive reviews have come in from our center team AND our partners. Finally, the summaries Bruce provided to us after each session are crucial documents to us as we build new materials and the plan for the next 5 years!!!! We are very grateful to Bruce and Collective Impact!" ~ Lesley Cottrell, Director, West Virginia University Center for Excellence in Disabilities (WVU CED), Morgantown, WV
